Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Funzo. Heri mtu yule ambaye amesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimefunikwa.
By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Heri mtu yule ambaye Bwana hamhesabii dhambi, na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Niliponyamaza, mifupa yangu ilichakaa kwa kulia kwa maumivu makali mchana kutwa.
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4 Usiku na mchana mkono wako ulinilemea, nguvu zangu zilinyonywa kama vile katika joto la kiangazi.
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 Kisha nilikujulisha dhambi yangu wala sikuficha uovu wangu. Nilisema, “Nitaungama makosa yangu kwa Bwana.” Ndipo uliponisamehe hatia ya dhambi yangu.
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Kwa hiyo kila mtu mcha Mungu akuombe wakati unapopatikana, hakika maji makuu yatakapofurika hayatamfikia yeye.
For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7 Wewe ndiwe mahali pangu pa kujificha, utaniepusha na taabu na kunizunguka kwa nyimbo za wokovu.
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. (Selah)
8 Nitakufundisha na kukuonyesha njia utakayoiendea; nitakushauri na kukuangalia.
I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
9 Usiwe kama farasi au nyumbu wasio na akili, ambao ni lazima waongozwe kwa lijamu na hatamu la sivyo hawatakukaribia.
Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10 Mtu mwovu ana taabu nyingi, bali upendo usio na kikomo wa Bwana unamzunguka mtu anayemtumaini.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11 Shangilieni katika Bwana na mfurahi, enyi wenye haki! Imbeni, nyote mlio wanyofu wa moyo!
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
